Hola!

Half way done with school this week and almost half way done with first set of classes. I cannot believe how quickly time flies when in Spain.

It rains very infrequently here during June and July. We have not had a wet day yet, which I am not complaining about at all! The weather has been a bit warmer but has cooled off today and will continue into tomorrow. I would tell you the degree but it’s in Celsius, so I’m clueless.

The World Cup begins on the 11th and I hear about it more every day. A part of me wants Spain to win so I can be a part of the celebration; however, my loyalty will stick to the US.

A group of us are going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D tonight, in Spanish! I am very excited to see what I understand. Our sister thinks it is “precious.” Afterwards, we are setting sail for American food at one of the local Domino’s. Who knew Domino’s was international. I did learn though that Domino’s is a Pepsi company here and a Coke company in the US from my roommate who has a strong loyalty to the Coke brand.

Classes are wonderful and we head to Madrid this week to see the Prado Museum. It is the most famous museum in Madrid as it stands 4 stories high and is home to thousands of paintings.

Buenas tardes (good afternoon!)
